If energy per unit flow gradients be more than or equal to and limit slope threshold value K 0, then process and continue in step S30H to open valve 10 further by continuing to increase control signal Z.Otherwise, if energy per unit flow gradients lower than restriction slope threshold value K 0, then opening further and/or reducing the aperture of valve 10 and continue in step S33H by stop valve 10 is processed, such as, by reducing control signal Z to limit decrement.

In step S32C, control module 15 checks determined energy per unit flow gradients whether be less than and limit lower slope threshold k lor be greater than the upper slope threshold value K of restriction h.
If energy per unit flow gradients be more than or equal to and limit lower slope threshold k land be less than or equal to slope threshold value K h, then process by continuing respectively to increase control signal Z to open valve 10 further or to continue to reduce control signal Z with further shutoff valve 10, and continue in step S30C.Otherwise, if energy per unit flow gradients be less than linear lower slope threshold k lor be greater than and limit upper slope threshold value K h, then process by stopping respectively opening or closing valve 10 further, and continue in step S33C, because cooler 5 no longer works in higher efficiency range.
